iarity of a contemporary with such facts as the existence and position of Belshazzar and of Darius the Mede, with the kingdom of Susa, and with the formal as well as the actual relations of Cyrus the Great to his kingdoIIlS and to his empire.

The general result is the same which we reach in every comparison of scripture with other forms of truth, namely, that, while one record may explain another, none of them, rightly read, are contradictory; and that we may go on without fear accepting and holding fast all proved truth, knowing that, when we come to understand it all, we shall find each part consistent with every other, and contributing to the illustration and support of the highest truth.

ARTICLE II.

HORAE SAMARITANAE; OR, A COLLECTION OF VARIOUS READINGS OF THE SAMARITAN PENTATEUCH COM-PARED WITH THE HEBREW AND OTHER ANCIENT VERSIONS.

BY BY. B. PICX, ROCHESTER, 1'1'. Y.

OF the Samaritan literature which h88 come down to our times, first in importance and order is the Pentateuch. As to its merits and demerits, there has always been a difference of opinion. The Jews regarded it with contempt, and charged the Samaritans with a downright forgery. "You have falsified your law," e=m'U'l 1X'IIl .... ,. This we read very often in the Talmud. Early Christian writerS, however, speak of it with respect, in some cases even preferring it to that of the M880retic text. Origen (t254) quotes it under name of 'TO 70JIJ '$apape£'TOJIJ 'E{3pai.,d)JJ, giving its various readings on the margin of his Hexapla (cf. Montfaucon, Hexapla, praelim. p.1S sq.). Eusebius of Caesarea (t 340), notices the agreement in the chronology of the Septuagint and Samaritan text as against the Hebrew (Chron. i., xvi.

1876.] HORAE 8AlWUT.11UE. 266

7-11). Jerome (t 420) in his Proleg. to Kings, also men-tions this fact, and in his Epistol. ad Gal. iii. 10, he upholds the genuineness of its text over that of the Masoretic one, which he considers to have been purposely altered. Sextus Julius Africawus (t 232), as quoted by G. Syncellus, the chronologist of the eighth century (Chronographia, p. 85) is most outspoken in his praise of it, terming it "the earliest and best, even by the testimony of the Jews themselves" ('TO Xap.a.pevrGw /"pxauhaTov I(tU Xa.~ptT' 8wA.'Aatrrov g ~ lM:q8~ elva£ /(Q.~ 'IT'pidrov f EfJpdW£ K.a80f'OAO"folxr£V). Having been afterwards unnoticed, its existence began to be doubted, till Pietro della Valle, in 1616, obtained from the Samaritans in Damascus a complete copy which was then published in the Paris Polyglot of 1645. But with the publication of the Samaritan Pentateuch, the controversy took a new phase, and the ablest scholars were called into the field of contro-versy - a controversy which lasted over two centuries, till the time of Gesenius, who subjected the recension to a rigid analysis, and arranged its variations under different heads. But with the question of the comparative merits of the two texts another question came up, that' of the relation of the Septuagint to the Samaritan Pentateuch on account of its striking resemblance in numerous passages to the .Alexan-drine version. It is not oW' intention to di8CU88 the question which copied which, or to speak of the merits and demerits of the Samaritan Pentateuch. Suffice it to say, that the Samaritan cannot be put in comparison with the Hebrew version, although the Hebrew text is not immaculate, and none can uphold its absolute integrity. But, says Mr. David-son, if it needs emendation, why should not the Samaritan recension be taken 8S one source of evidence? It is not, indeed, a valuable instrument of emendation; but it is not destitute of all worth, and should be classed with the other materials on which a pure text depends. Critical conjecture must sometimes be resorted to in restoring the original text, as the best scholars admit. Why then throw aside the Sam-aritan as more useless even than conjecture? It may some--

times suggest the right reading, if it does not give it. From this point of view, as Mr. Davidson suggests, we have col-lected the various readings of the Samaritan Pentateuch, with special reference to the ancient versions, which we here offer in the Hebrew instead of the Samaritan character.

In support of our reading, which personifies the ser-pent, we may perhaps say that later Hebrew writers also speak of this serpent as the Satan; thus we read in the Wisdom of Solomon ii. 23, 24: "For God has created man for imperish-able existence, and made him after the image of his own being. But by the envoy of Satan death came into the world; and it befalls all those who belong to him." Satan is frequently called the first serpent, "="'PM Ul")", and the notion conveyed by the Samaritan occurs repeatedly in the New Testament; see John vii., xx.; Rev. xii. 9; xx. 2.

(p. 257&), "It (viz. this addition) is not in the Syriac, which closely follows the Hebrew, and there is no reference to it in the Targums." But herein the learned Professor is mistaken, as he has probably overlooked the Syriac, which reads 8t"'I"'Q ~I"I=;, and the Targum of Palestine, which not only reads, " Come, and let us two go forth into the fields," but also gives the conversation held by the two brothers in the field, which finally resulted in the killing of Abel.

ARTICLE III.

THE RELATION OF THEOLOGY TO OTHER SCIENCES,

THE present age ~s characterized by a tendency of scien-tific men to throw suspicion over the trustworthiness of the Bible. The prevalence of such a suspicion blunts the edge of biblical appeals. "If Christianity may be a fable, then I .need not care for its promises or threatenings "; this is the natural exclamation of many a young man who hears that some new discoveries in science have proved the Bible to be false. The bare suspicion, not les8 than the positive belief, that the Bible is false, weakens its practical authority.

To many minds Ohristianity seems to be in danger from recent theories of scientific men. We believe tills seeming to be no reality. So far forth as these theories are true, they harmonize with the essential spirit of Christianity. So far forth as they are in conflict with tills spirit, they are not true. .A narrow view of science may lead a man into infidelity; a broader view will lead him back to the Bible. The more profound our studie8 become, so much the clearer will it be that certain speculations in science which have threatened to encourage scepticism are really aids to faith ; and that other speculations which are in irreconcilable
